Question Ryzen 5700x overclocking help on b450 mobo

[Dropment]

Title says it all.

I have an asus tuf b450m plus gaming motherboard. I also have a nzxt t120rbg air cooler with 2 fans on it. I am having trouble overclocking on a 400 series mobo being all of the youtube videos i have watched on on 500 series mobos.

Which BIOS version are you currently on? As for your guides, what have you gone through? It's so we're not repeating what didn't work for you. Please list the rest of your specs like so:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:

I am on bios 3802 which should be the latest for 5000 cpus
ram: corsair vengence 3000mhz cl15
SSD: wd blue 500gb x2
GPU: rtx 3070
PSU: corsair 650mx
Case: nzxt h400i
OS: window 10

The videos i went through were changing pbo2 which is on 500 mobos and many of the options i don't have. As of now I am using ryzen master and have my cpu running at 4.35ghz at 1.3v stable . Mainly using this to learn more about OCing

Benchmark what you have now and document it. Try going back to stock, running the curve optimizer and playing the those offsets and a 100-200 mhz bump. Keep on benching and see what works best.

What options, specifically? Even on a B450, with the latest BIOS and 5000 series CPU you should be have all the PBO/PBO2 options including Curve Optimizer settings available.

You probably won't get all the settings with a G suffix processor, which is an APU.

Some mfr's, in some of their BIOS rev's, might limit the settings they expose in their preferred overclocking sections, like Asus' TweakUI section. The problem may be you're not finding the AMD overclocking section: I'd suggest navigating into the sub-menus to find it. You'll know you've found it because it will have a warranty disclaimer screen for overclocking that you have to acknowledge. That section is the most complete with all settings. Once you find it remember to work in that section only.

Hey there,

You are better off using the bios to OC. Ryzen master is okay, but bios OC are preferred.

Run the CPU with PBO + CO. This gives best results. The CO (Curve Optimiser) is often hidden deep within the bios options, at least it is on my Asus B550 Prime.

You could also look at CTR 2.1 or Project Hydra to OC the the CPU. Particularly CTR 2.1 had a result very close to PBO + CO for my CPU (5600x). I have all core is 4.65ghz and 1/2 cores at 4.85ghz.

You can also set scalar to X10 and overi ride CPU clocks by +200 (or whatever value you want to try - but within reason obviously) Try 100, then try 200. Not more though.
